Wearable Patches Instead Of Devices

ZDNET - Sep 29 - Researchers at the University of Texas say they have found a more efficient way to manufacture patches that could ultimately replace that Fitbit, Jawbone, Apple Watch or other fitness-centric wearable device. Electronic patches monitor and transmit data on vital signals, tracking heart rate, hydration level, muscle movement, temperature and brain activity. The patches tested by the University of Texas at Austin were able to take on tasks from existing medical devices and could minimize false signals and errors.
